i know in the 98 SC's the dash gauges has that clean LED look compared to the prior older SC's. i was wondering if the 97 SC's had the 98 gauge look (since it shares the same body kit) or does it have the older style gauges?

 

98 dash is differnt than the 92? Both mine look the same. Hmm, have to look in the morning!

 

He ask if the 97 has the same dash as 98. The answer is YES and no it doesn't have the clean led look it has the clean cathode look.

 

no i mean the GAUGES

there are the 98+ looking LED STYLE gauges and the OLDER ONES that look more outdated. but was wondering how the 97 SC's GAUGES were? "LED STYLE" or "OLDER OUTDATED" look?

 

You mean expensive cathode look

 

Both clusters look the same to me. I must be getting old

 

thanks guys

damn that's too bad it doesn't have that NICE NEW UPDATED LED look

 

sigh..............

 

Good to know I am not the only one raising your blood pressure

 

okay i'm definitely staying away from a pre 98 then them ugly gauges

jk

i mean you can do a swap right? wonder how hard it would be to put in a 98+ dash gauges

 

wow...can I get a glass of whatever you are drinking?

 

97+ dash!!

The light...that you think is LED...is a cathode on the back of the gauge panel...that's what gives the 97+ that LED look. its far more expensive than LED's

If you have a 96 or older car, your going to want the 97' dash so the auto shift lights match.

or get some new white LED's from Lextech and use the dash you have

The 97+ has the electroluminescent display whereas the 92-96 has the standard backlighting with incandescent bulbs which are much more yellow and not as bright. It's a pretty noticeable difference Ryan.. lest you're colorblind.. =P
